Traditional Chinese Medicine for Qigong Teachers

Traditional Chinese Medicine for Qigong Teachers.

Learn regulation, timing, and balance
within your role as a teacher.

Bring Chinese medicine
into your Qigong teaching.

  • “You will not teach more. You will interfere less.”

    How This Training Unfolds

    This course unfolds in stages.


    Each stage builds on the one before it

    — and returns to it with greater clarity.


    We begin by establishing direction.


    Then we clarify Qi.

    Then Yin and Yang.

    Then the Five Phases.


    From there, we move into each phase in depth.


    Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.


    Not as theory,

    but as patterns you will recognise in practice.


    By the end,

    your teaching will feel quieter,

    clearer, and more precise

    — not  because you have added complexity,

    but because you have reduced interference.

    What's included in this online course?

    Structured in Stages

    You will move through
    carefully designed stages — beginning with direction,
    then Qi, Yin–Yang, the Five Phases,
    and into the depth of each phase.


    The structure is circular rather than linear. Clarity builds through return, 
    not accumulation.

    Practice-Level Translation

    Traditional  Chinese medicine 

    presented in its original functional language — then translated carefully for Qigong teaching.



    You learn what applies to your role.
    Nothing inflated. Nothing diagnostic. Nothing theatrical.

    Judgement Over Information

    This training develops perception.
    You will learn to recognise regulation, timing, excess, deficiency, and balance
    within Qigong practice — and adjust pacing accordingly. The goal is quieter, clearer teaching — not more theory.

    Who This Training Is For

    This course is for Qigong teachers.

    For those who already stand in front of a group.


    For those who sense that timing matters.


    For those who feel that regulation is happening

    — but want language that clarifies it.


    For teachers who want depth without leaving their role.


    For those who value precision over performance.


    For those who want their teaching to become

    quieter and clearer — not more complicated.


    Who This Training Is Not For

    This is not a clinical training.


    It does not teach diagnosis, treatment, or prescription.


    It does not turn you into an acupuncturist.


    It refines your capacity within Qigong teaching.


    Nothing more.

    Nothing less.

    What Changes By The End

    By the end of this course, your teaching will feel different.


    You will pause more naturally.


    You will adjust pace without overthinking.


    You will recognise when regulation is present

    — and when it is not.


    You will say less.

    You will notice more.


    You will stop trying to create effects.

    You will begin arranging conditions.


    Students will feel steadier.

    Classes will feel more coherent.


    You will trust silence more.

    You will intervene less.


    And your teaching will become clearer

    — not because you have added theory,

    but because you have reduced interference.


    Classical Foundations

    This training draws from

    classical Chinese medicine —     Zhong Yi 中醫

    —     as it appears in texts such as the Huangdi Neijing 黃帝內經.


    Not as philosophy.

    Not as abstraction.

    But as observation.


    Seasonal observation.

    Functional observation.

    Human observation.


    The same medicine that speaks

    of grain becoming blood and breath warming tissue

    is the medicine

    that describes regulation in movement.


    We approach it carefully.

    With restraint.


    We use its language precisely.


    We translate it into embodied teaching

    — not clinical instruction.


    The aim is not to modernise it.

    The aim is not to mystify it.


    The aim is to use it correctly.

    Within your role as a Qigong teacher.

    Matt Sincock

    Matt Sincock teaches traditional Chinese medicine for those who work with movement.

    He translates traditional Chinese medicine into clear, embodied principles that movement teachers can apply directly in their teaching. This strengthens their capacity to observe change, regulate pace, and support self-regulation — without stepping into diagnosis or clinical roles.

    Matt runs a thriving clinical practice in acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and Shiatsu therapy in Australia. He also teaches Qigong, meridian-based yoga, and Shiatsu, shaped by years of martial arts and committed movement training.

    At the centre stands one simple idea: let the body lead.
